He Could Be The One✔️

Time Jump: one year later

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Donovan and Cameron! Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang as Dom and Justin helped the boys blow out their candles. Then the fun began.

Those boys engulfed their entire head into their cakes. That was going to be fun to clean up.

"He gets that from you," Dom said to me.

"Eh, at least my child likes cake." I shrugged.

Then I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down as Domi reached up. "Up, momma."

I leaned over and picked her up. I held her as she laid her head on me.

"Mom? Can we have cake now?" Mikayla asked.

"Yes. Have your grandma cut it," I said to her.

"Okay," she said as she bounded off to Dom's mom to announce it was time for cake.

As we all socialized, Wyatt got a call, which he took in another room. While we all enjoyed celebrating the kid's birthday, he returned a few minutes later, not looking too happy.

"Wyatt? What's going on?" Scott asked him.

"That was Taj. He said Noah is planning on proposing to that chick, Larissa," he said with furrowed brows.

We all looked at him as Ava said, "What?"

We all looked at her as her face fell.

"Sweetie, Taj is trying to talk him out of it, but you need to tell him," he said to her.

"What does it matter? Even if I wanted to, it's over. Excuse me," she said, walking out of the kitchen. That was so not good.

Noah's POV

I was asking Larissa to be my wife. I had been carrying around this ring for the past year, waiting for the right moment. I knew when I was going to do it. I set right before graduation.

I figure she had been waiting for me to ask her, considering her reasons for not staying the night was she didn't want to be known as a kept woman. I didn't want that. I wanted to do right by her.

I kept the ring hidden away until the right moment. Right now, I wanted to enjoy my baby.

She came into the apartment that Taj and I shared, and we started getting busy. I could never get enough of her. It's like I craved her. She climbed onto my lap as I sat on the couch and undid my pants. Then handed me protection.

"Rissa, when are you going to let me go raw?" I asked her, holding the protection in my hand.

"Baby, you know we got to be safe. No glove, no love," she smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, but you know that at some point, we will start a family, right?"

"Oh, yeah, sure, sure. But I want to keep you all to myself. I like being selfish," Larissa purred. I sighed and put it on.

Once it was in place, she slid onto me and started moving her hips back and forth. I thrust in and out, but something was lacking. I mean, I enjoy the occasional fun here and there, but I wanted more.

Just then, she released and screamed out in pleasure while I kept going until she stopped me, "Oh, sugar, I'm a little spent. Maybe we can pick this up another time."

"Yeah, sure," I shrugged as she got off of me. Shit, I was still standing at attention. She pulled down her skirt as she leaned over and kissed me.

Then she started walking to the door. "Are you leaving?"

She stopped, "Uh, yeah. I need to take care of something."

"Like what?"

"Margo needs my help. Don't worry; I'll make it up to you," she smiled as she turned and walked out the door. Great, now I needed to take care of my needs.

I got up and carefully went upstairs into my room. I closed the door, and as soon as I got a chance, I finished the job. As I moved my hand back and forth, I closed my eyes and saw Ava. Her caramel skin, so soft and supple. Her auburn curls laying loosely upon her shoulders. Her chocolate brown eyes, which left you hypnotized. Her plump, juicy lips and that's all it took before I screamed out, "Ava!"

I released as my body jerked with it. Once I finished, I stood there, dumbfounded. What the hell was that? Why was I picturing Ava when I was with Larissa?

I cleaned up and fixed my pants. As I opened the door, I saw Taj standing there.

"Care to explain why you're calling out Ava's name while beating off?"

I rolled my eyes. "Larissa came over and left me hanging. So I went to finish the job. The problem was I saw Ava's face," I said in frustration.

"Because you still freaking love her, dude," he said to me.

"No, that's over. I love Larissa," I told him.

"In what sense? The fact she is dying to settle down and start a family with you. Noah, wake up. That chick is nothing bad news," he said to me.

"It doesn't matter because I got it all planned out," I said to him.

"That's whack. Thinking some chick will say yes. I think you need to figure out if you want to do this or not because you don't want to catch up with bad news, Betty," he said, walking away.

I stood there.

3rd Person's POV

"You like that baby?" Deion growled as he pounded into Larissa from behind.

"Oh, God, yes, D! Keep going! Mm-mmm," she moaned as he continued his thrusts until they both released and collapsed onto the bed.

They laid there, catching their breath. "I can't believe work has you working your tail off. Isn't there anyone else that can take part in your load off, so we can spend more time together?" He asked, looking at her.

"I wish, but work has been crazy, D, you know how it is?" She said in a sweet tone.

"Yeah, but I want to see my baby more," he said, pulling her to him as he nibbled in her neck.

"Hold that thought, I need to use the little girl's room," she said, getting up from the bed and strolling into the bathroom.

As he laid there, her phone buzzed. He reached over and saw the message waiting,

Rissa, dress up nice for Friday. I got unique plans for us. - Noah

He stared at the message until another came through:

Wear that black lacy bra and panty set I've seen you in, baby. You know how hot that makes me. Love you, baby.

He set the phone back down and laid there as she waltzes out of the bedroom.

"Now, where were we?"

"Baby, I'm pretty tired. We'll continue this tomorrow," he said, giving her a quick peck and rolling over. Who the hell was Noah, and why does he know about Larissa's lingerie? Time to do some digging.

The next day, Deion met up with one of his boys, Drake.

"Man! I told you that hoe was cheating!" Drake exclaimed.

"I want you to find out from Nadia, where Lar is going Friday night. I want to surprise my lovely wife and her boy toy," he said to him.

"D, you know Nadia and Marta won't give up their girl," he told him.

"Then I suggest you tell them how she is using them to cover her ass and if I find out they knew all along, I won't hesitate to put a bullet in their ass. Drake, get my information," Deion said as he walked away.
